Apple has scheduled its first quarter financial results call for January 21st 2009 at 2:00 PM Pacific. This is going to be a particularly interesting call, because it will be the first one that shows exactly who Apple is going to be affected by the recession that many are facing right now.

Holiday sales in particular are going to be of interest. On the last sales conference call Steve Jobs made a surprise appearance and answered several questions for the media. It is unknown if he will make another appearance this time.
